Mental health was assessed using the Depression Anxiety Stress Scale (DASS). The Impact of Event Scale\u2014Revised (IES\u2010R) was used to assess post\u2010traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) symptoms, the Kansas Marital Satisfaction Scale (KMSS) was used to measure marital quality, and the Brief COPE inventory scale was used to assess coping responses upon reaction to specific stressors.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      Women faced different types of domestic violence, with 70.7% reporting physical, 33.7% sexual, 74.9% emotional, and 74.4% financial violence. Common physical symptoms included headache (63.6%) and sleep disturbances (49.1%), while psychological symptoms included unhappiness (66.9%) and tiredness (62.8%). Overall, 57.6% of women exhibited psychological distress based on the DASS. Extremely severe anxiety and depression were reported in 29.2% and 23.6%, respectively. PTSD was detected in 7.9% using the IES\u2010R, and 40.3% had extreme PTSD symptoms. Physical, sexual, and emotional violence were associated with heightened stress, anxiety, and depression (\n                      <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009&lt;\u20090.001).
